Import *either* the darkMode or the normal file not both!
Restart Notepad++!
From now on, every LP filetype you open will open with the syntax highlighter enabled.
Changing Layout
The main purpose of a syntax highlighter consists of:- making sure blocks are collapsible (eg If-Elseif-Else-Endif, Random blocks can be collapsed)
- applying specific font choices and colors (styles) to specific lists of keywords
- also applying specific styles for comments, quotes etc.
If the highlighter gets updated with new function keywords and you wish to keep your personal styling choices,
- export your current version of the highlighter first. This'll create an .xml file like the one offered here.
- remove your current version in the Define your language window
- copy-paste anything from your previous version that's between the <styles> and </styles> tags to the new one's xml
- import the new .xml
- 1. block types
- 2. command functions
- 3. condition functions
- 4. special variables
- 5. stats
- 6. locations
- 7. moods
- 8. tags
Dark Mode
The dark mode file sets all background colors to BLACK. There is no transparent option.If you want another back color open the "Styles" window of Notepad++ and set a global override for the back color.
